7 June, 2008 Wind, oh mighty crosswind!

Carl and Newt high-tailed it back to Mansfield after refueling, before the wind got any worse. It was already gusting and clouding up at 7:30 on this sunny Saturday morning. Carl's getting ready to take his private pilot checkride soon. Today's landings and takeoffs are good crosswind practice!

John was the only one brave enough to buck the wind this morning, and his Young Eagles were waiting for him early. The wind got fierce later in the morning and cancelled the rest of the planned flights for kids.

So, we concentrated on selling stuff at the garage sale in the Experimental Aircraft Association Chapter 1218 hangar at Willow Springs.

Roy cut hay today, and then got it spread with the tedder, so he can bale it tomorrow before it rains again. Note the old Farmall tractor!

Bitty the War Kitten. I'm gonna have to get a Capital One credit card just so I can have WAR KITTENS on it.


Bluebird babies are getting feathers!




Jody dug himself a loading ramp for the track-hoe, and drove off with it.

It didn't rain today. Is this really Missouri?


G'ma Airplane, no-fly today
